PECORA 20 CALL FOR ABSTRACTS NOW OPEN
W
e cordially invite land remote sensing data users,
researchers, applications scientists, producers,
managers, and policy-makers to participate in this
important symposium by submitting an abstract for a

20
th
William T. Pecora Memorial Remote Sensing Symposium will take place in Sioux Falls,
South Dakota from November 14-16, 2017.
The Pecora Symposium series was established by the USGS and NASA in the 1970s as a forum
to: 1) foster the exchange of scientific information and results derived from applications of
Earth observing data to a broad range of land-based resources; and 2) discuss ideas, policies,
and strategies concerning land remote sensing.
With emphasis on recent significant developments in remote sensing, the theme of Pecora 20 is
“Observing a Changing Earth: Science for Decisions…Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection.”
This conference will offer a program on applications of satellite and other Earth observations to
monitor, assess, and perform projections of future land and water resources, as well as big data
and other analytical technologies to improve decision making utilizing satellite data.
